Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is a clinical syndrome of varying etiologies with similar neuroimaging findings. This is a case report of a 25-year-old woman who developed typical, neurological symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities after treatment for the acute exacerbation of ulcerative colitis (UC), which included blood transfusion, the systemic administration of prednisolone, and the administration of metronidazole. It has been reported that these treatments may contribute to the development of RPLS. RPLS should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of UC patients who exhibit impaired consciousness, seizures or visual deficits during treatment. We report a rare case of RPLS in a patient with UC.
